Old wine in old bottles, Cadillac CT6 with minor facelift may not have more expectations

The automotive industry also has its own rules for model changes. In the year of major model changes, the engine and gearbox may be changed. In the year of minor model changes, the new model may not be much different from the old one. Take the Cadillac CT6, which has just been exposed, for example. The difference between the new and old models is only reflected in the changes of some appearance.

The new CT6 will more closely reflect the front face design of the Cadillac Escala, which was a concept design proposed by Cadillac in 2016. In addition, the height of the air intake grille will be lower than that of the current model, and the position and shape of the headlights will also be adjusted.

At the rear, the spy photos show that there is almost no difference between the old and new models. Perhaps the changes to the rear of the new CT6 will be more reflected in the optimization of the internal structure of the taillights.

As for the power, we have already said that the new CT6 to be launched in the second half of this year is a minor facelift model, and the power and transmission parts will naturally follow the previous model. The 2.0L inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine will also be launched as the entry-level configuration. In the high-end configuration, the 3.6L V6 naturally aspirated and 3.0L V6 twin-turbocharged engines will also be used again.

As for the driving mode, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive will still be available for users to choose. In terms of environmental protection, the new CT6 will still provide a considerate choice for users who pursue environmental protection, and will provide a plug-in hybrid version of the model that combines a 2.0L inline four-cylinder engine and an electric motor.
